Houston Astros

The Astros will have trouble reaching 75 wins, but it doesnt mean there arent encouraging aspects to this team. While they dont have a lot of power (108 homers last season, 80 fewer than the league-leading Reds), they have a few good hitters like speedster Michael Bourn, Brett Wallace, Chris Johnson, Hunter Pence, Carlos Lee, and former Red Sox utilityman Bill Hall. They suffered a big setback when catching prospect Jason Castro was lost for the season.
